General Information

Overview

Justice professionals work frequently with legal institutions and this unit will introduce you to legal systems, procedures and principles. You will explore the way that the law operates in its social context and the impact that legal thought and problem solving methods have on the operation of the criminal justice system. Legal process and the methods of lawmaking will be illustrated through application on practice, rights and evidential requirements. Inter-disciplinary differences will be examined in order to support inter-agency cooperation and negotiation of conflicting concepts of justice. This unit also introduces the need for reflection on justice issues, through the use of a professional portfolio as a tool of career management.
